failing leashes

Postby Tatonka » Mon Feb 08, 2010 5:29 pm

I went ten years without a leash coming off (broke a few, but that's a different story) and since December I have had three different leashes come off my ankle, one at sunset beach on a big day, twice here in Oregon. WTF?

New leashes every couple years...
Especially for a certain rocky spot.

trust me bru, after some of the swims I've taken I engage the velcro.

Suppose it will remain a mystery of the ages. maybe a pre-session sacrafice to neptune will help.

Yeah, I got two dakines recently that had velcro problems. checked and rechecked and they still came off.
Also another broke in the cord.
NotsoDakine Iguess. Anyways I'm not getting those kine anymore.

Yea I check and recheck and check again, Pra told me the same thing and then he tried my leash out and it happened to him. its seriously the leash not the person I'm with you Tatonka!

Every time this kook can't make it out or gets burned he comes on here like he's hot tuna but I know he's a single child little momma's boy. Probably an alias for another OSPer that's to pansy to talk smack anonymously with his regular alias that he has to double up the anomity to smack talk.

But hey; where would we all be if that wasn't what the internet is all about, talking smack anonymously. Carry on Sean.

Sean in merrily doing his job and I thank him for it. Only about 10 of us do the heavy lifting around here and probably 5 of them are me.

If only there were more of you to go around is what I gather you are trying to get at.
If only we could be so lucky to share space with more like you.
Ah the OSP, so bold, so brave, so macho so....male biased.
Well keep on doing your heavy lifting SooLo and Sean Collins,
I know the other men on here yearn, probably desire what you have to say,
so don't let them down.

Duct tape - The man said duct tape. For the leach and the flapping face. The best thing ever made. Keeps me from getting more felonies. Duct tape.
Your only as cool as you think you are.
